BOARD OF SELECTMEN
James R. Engel , Chairman
Calendar year 1989 was a year of changes in the makeup of the Board of Selectmen
After nine years, David S. Player, Jr. completed his last year with the Board in
April. Thomas Elliott was returned to the Board in the April elections along
with newcomer William Walton. Following a change in personal circumstances,
Mr. Elliott resigned from the Board late in the year. His replacement would be
determined at a special election held in early 1990.
To some extent, this year was a watershed year. It was the last year in which
the budget process could be completed without being severely constrained by the
tax limiting statute familiarly known as Proposition 2i. Finalization of the
fiscal 1990 budget during early 1989 tested the limits of Proposition 2h; ini-
tialization of the FY91 budget process dealt with the virtual inevitability of
overrides to Proposition 2\ or drastic curtailment of services. The rapidity
with which this process evolved was, of course, aggravated by the fiscal
distress of the Commonwealth which is expected to continue well into next year.
As Water, Sewer and Electric Commissioners a number of important issues came
before the Board during 1989.
With pleasure it is noted that the water treatment plant has passed its first
anniversary of operation with most expectations having been met and, gratefully,
no major deviations from the financial plan that was anticipated relative to
its startup and operation. Special note is made of the department staff who
contributed to this effort. Planning for a number of major capital projects has
been an ongoing activity with the Commissioners. Among these projects are a
meter replacement program, preparation for a new standpipe, distribution system
rehabilitation and/or replacement, and a facility to house Water Department per-
sonnel and equipment.
Although the sewerage treatment plant continues to function smoothly and pro-
fessionally, the issue of sludge disposal remains a major problem. Progress has
been made in the permitting process which will ultimately allow for the disposal
of sludge in an ecologically safe and affordable way using biological waste
treatment (the so-called reed system). The Commissioners also reviewed the
completion of an engineering evaluation of the sewer system itself - addressing
specifically the inflow and infiltration of water whose source is not the usual
household or commercial waste stream. A major program addressing the results of
this study will be considered during the next year. Department staff have shown
creativity and dedication in addressing both normal operational problems as well
as these major capital projects.
Electricity rates for Ipswich consumers continue to be among the lowest in the
Commonwealth. Growing demand, particularly in the industrial/commercial area,
continues to be an issue in a number of ways. New sources of power, par-
ticularly the gas turbine peaking unit planned for the Ipswich generating plant,
are being examined by the Commissioners. Special note is made of the likelihood
that in the near future, private sales will be dominated by the
industrial/commerical sector. Note is also made that over the past year the
■38-
Commissioners have supported agreements between the Massachusetts Municipal
Wholesale Electric Company (MMWEC, of which Ipswich is a member) and the other
joint owners of Seabrook to limit the liability of MMWEC (and ultimately
Ipswich) in the Seabrook Nuclear Project.

TOWN MANAGER
George E. Howe
Nineteen eighty-nine can best be ascribed as a year of sparse successes over-
shadowed by acute municipal fiscal anxiety. In general administration, an analysis
of current and future staffing needs of the Town was undertaken, and a compen-
dium of municipal fees and user charges was assembled. Recommendations were
presented to the appropriate ^boards for update either by administrative regula-
tion or by Town Meeting by-law. Facing a $500,000 reduction in local aid in
July, after the budget for FY90 had been enacted, orders were issued to cut back
on spending to help balance the budget.
Some public works projects were undertaken this past year, most notably repairs
to Choate Bridge and the Winthrop Street Bridge, the latter being a joint pro-
ject with the Town of Hamilton; and the interior surfaces of the Pinefield water
tank were cleaned and painted. Other projects entered feasibility studies
or detailed design phases, including the phragmites reed treatment process for
sewage sludge; relocation and reconstruction of Clamshell Road; leak studies on
our sanitary sewer system, with the objective of better controlling Wastewater
Treatment Plant operating costs; and a hydrological study of our water distribu-
tion system.
Projects which proved difficult to get started included groundwater monitoring
in our aquifer zoning districts; energy conservation retrofits at the Wastewater
Treatment Plant; and water meter replacements as authorized by the April 1989
Town Meeting.
Public safety highlights include commencing installation of the new radio system
for the police, improved antennae at the Town Hill and Pinefield water tank, and
ordering the new fire pumper. Special thanks are extended to Lt. Willard Maker
for his service as Acting Fire Chief during Chief Emerson's recuperation from
surgery.
Efforts were made to encourage more strict code enforcement this year, par-
ticularly in the water supply districts, requiring architectural oversight of
larger and more complex construction, and laying the groundwork for the issuance
of "zoning tickets" for violations.
Perhaps the most satisfying accomplishment this year was the completion of the
Cable Gardens Housing project. The Town's role as grantee for a $2.2 million
HUD grant was minor in this project. Nevertheless, we can point with community
pride to the success of this multi -year effort to recycle the former Cable
Hospital .
In closing, I would like to express my appreciation to the Selectmen, Finance
Committee, and the Town staff for their continued support during the past year.

ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT
Barry M. Boyce, Town Accountant
The Accounting Department during Fiscal Year 1989 made great progress toward
its lofty goals. My accounting staff, Cynthia Burns, Carol Poirier, and Donna
Foote, was meritorious in its handling of the many changes and demands during
my first two and one-half years as Town Accountant.
The Accounting Department has made many gains but has many more gains to
achieve. To that end our goals will remain high for the coming years.

ANIMAL CONTROL
Harry W. Leno, Jr., Animal Control Officer
This year storm windows were placed on the Dog Pound to insure the warmth and
well Deing of the animals held there. A large fund raising effort was under-
taken by the Ipswich Humane Group. This volunteer organization will expend its
monies for an overall expansion of the facility, to continue to modernize the
structure, and to add more dog runs. Their assistance and concern is invaluable

CIVIL DEFENSE
David R. Clements, Director
John T. Clogston, Assistant Director
The year 1989 was a fairly quiet year for our department. There were no local
emergencies or any alerts in the area. This department was on alert, however,
during the late autumn when Hurricane Hugo decided to make his move. We have
large wall weather tracking maps at the Civil Defense office on Green Street.
There we were able to keep close watch of all tropical storms and hurricanes.
We tracked Hugo to the Carol inas, and soon we were notified that we were off
alert. The Emergency Operating Center, located in the Middle School, is open
every Monday evening from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
-42-
All units of Civil Defense meet on a monthly basis. C.P.R., First Aid and
departmental training continues. The Auxiliary Police, under the direction of
Captain George Desrocher, continues to qualify in firearms and work with our
regular Police Department by riding the cruiser with the regular officer eyery
Friday and Saturday evening. This department meets on the first Monday of the
month at the Middle School.
Ken Murphy continues to head the Radiological Department where all the radio
equipment is tested and maintained. Ipswich Civil Defense invites the public to
view this office and its equipment any Monday evening. We are in close contact
with all North Shore Units of Civil Defense on a weekly basis and travel to
meetings in various parts of the State to stay in touch and keep up to date with
State requirements and contacts.
Literature on winter storms, winter fires, general household emergencies, i.e.,
poisoning, cuts seizures, etc., are available to the public. This department
circulated over 1,000 hurricane tracking maps this past year.

COMMUTER RAIL COMMITTEE
William M. Varrell, Chairman
This year the varied activities of the Commuter Rail Committee were highlighted
by the celebration of 150 years of local railroad service.
In May our updated rider survey indicated that many were dissatisfied with main-
tenance and the cleanliness of the cars, and the fact that there is an incon-
venient gap in evening service from Boston between 6:55 and 9:20 p.m. For
approximately 220 daily commuters, about 50 of whom come from outside Ipswich,
parking does not seem to be the overwhelming problem expressed in the past.
Parking fees that will soon be implimented at most MBTA stations will not affect
Ipswich where the parking lot is owned by the Town.
During a time when many MBTA bus routes are being considered for elimination,
they give us little hope for resumption of Sunday service in the near future.
However, they have said they will re-examine the possibility of express bus ser-
vice between a railroad station and the airport as soon as the new garage and
transportation terminal is completed in Lynn.
Once more we thank the Garden Club for providing the flowers at the station that
were watered and maintained by volunteers. In addition, we requested and
received from the MBTA additional trash containers and the flowers planted at
the entrance to the station. These flowers planted by the MBTA were an experi-
ment that was so successful that we have requested that it be expanded to other
stations within the system.
When we realized, almost by accident, that 1989 was the 150th anniversary of
railroad service to Ipswich, we decided that a modest celebration was in order.
Among our anniversary activities were the publication of several railroad
related postcards in order to make some money to cover expenses and a special
one-day anniversary postmark requested from the U.S. Postal Service. We also
researched the local railroad history that was published in the Ipswich
Chronicle and had a display of local railroad photographs at the Public Library.
-43-
On December 18th, the actual anniversary, a brass quintet from the high school
performed at the station and on several rush hour trains; and birthday cake was
served to all commuters and guests - in ten degree cold. In addition to the
local sale of souvenir envelopes and the postmark, we received hundreds of
requests for it from every state and Canada.
Not only did this celebration recognize and document a local anniversary, it was
also intended to recognize vast improvement in local service over the past few
years. With three new bridges between Ipswich and Boston, many new railroad
coaches, and a relatively new station in Ipswich, local railroad service is prob-
ably more healthy and well patronized today than at any time in its entire
history. Hopefully this celebration has served to remind local residents of
this \/ery important asset that has for so long benefited this town.

CONSERVATION COMMISSION
Lillian V. North, Chairman
The Ipswich Conservation Commission is a seven-member official Town board
charged with the authority of upholding the regulations of the Wetlands
Protection Act, Chapter 131, Section 40 of the Massachusetts General Laws.
Under the provisions of the Act, no person may remove, fill, dredge or alter
certain resource areas without first filing a Notice of Intent and obtaining an
Order of Conditions.
The Commission meets bi-weekly and conducts an average of six to twelve on-site
inspections per month, plus the monitoring of on-going projects, on foot and by
aerial surveillance.
The following is a list of 1989 activity compared with 1988 and 1987.
1987 1988 1989
Notices of Intent: 41
Orders of Conditions: 36
Enforcement Orders: 9
Determinations of Applicability: 2
Certificates of Compliance: 3
The number of Enforcement Orders for wetlands violations rose dramatically in
1989 due, in part, to heightened awareness of the value of wetlands and the
environment. Violations were not only found Dy members of the Commission, but
were reported by citizens, the Building Inspector, the Town Manager, and members
of the Board of Selectmen.
In 1989, the Department of Environmental Protection instituted new Notice of
Intent fees ranging from $55 to $1,000 covering five categories. The new law
provides for the first $25 to be turned over to the Commission and half of the
remaining fee, with the second half to be paid to the state. The new law also
enables Conservation Commission to retain all monies paid to be used to hire
consultants for difficult projects.
Work has begun in 1989 on a new Wetlands By-law which will be included in the
warrant at the April 1990 Town Meeting, the bulk of the work having been under-
taken by Richard Nylen. Also, with the efforts of Jim Berry, work was begun on
updating the Town's Open Space and Recreation Plan for 1990.

ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT
Donald R. Stone, Sr., Manager
In 1989, we saw in increase in the number of electrical services of 123,
bringing the total number of residential, municipal, business and commercial
customers to 5,806. Generation at the Power Plant reached a new high again in
1989 with an increase of 2.4% over the previous high in 1988. The 1989 peak was
22,060 an increase of 3.3% over the 1988 peak, and was reached on January 4,
1989. Distribution continued a maintenance and upgrade program that has been
established over the last six years. In 1989, Ipswich sold 94,383,468 kWH's, an
increase of 1.8% over 1988. Rowley went off-system November 1, 1989.
The annual study of municipal electric companies in Massachusetts showed that
our residential rates remain among the lowest in the state.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
Edwin R. Emerson, Chief
Lt. Willard Maker, Jr., Acting Chief
The Town's two newest firefighters attended the Massachusetts Fire Academy's
seven-week recruit training program. Seven of the Departments 16 full-time
firefighters have completed this training. Also, our call and full -time person-
nel completed a total of 504 hours of additional Fire Academy training. In-
house training is also conducted on a regular basis for all personnel. There
are now 29 call personnel employed to suppliment the on-duty personnel.
The Department has purchased a computer and the fire department software to be
used to store information collected during inspections of properties. It will
also store locations of all hydrants within the town, and incident records.
This will greatly assist officers in handling emergencies.
The Department has accepted the responsibility for checking eyery building in
town to see that it has the correct street number visible, as required by Town
by-law. Notices are given to those found not to comply.
Lt. Dennis Durrell has developed a fire safety education program, including
"Sparkey the Dog', to teach preschool and elementary school children. This was
available at all such schools.
The Department inspected 157 oil burner installations, 113 buildings, 233 smoke
detector installations, 64 new occupancies. The Department responded to 675
calls, including: 14 structure fires, 90 outside fires, 15 motor vehicle fires,
22 heading fires, 18 electrical fires, 43 hazardous materials incidents, 128
investigations, 105 medical aid, 60 motor vehicle accidents, 64 public assists,
137 false or accidental alarms, and 6 calls to neighboring towns. The
Department was yery successful in limiting the damage by fires within buildings,
to the credit of our firefighters.
The Department received $6,721 in revenue.

HALL-HASKELL HOUSE STANDING COMMITTEE
Vivian Endicott, Chairman
This has been a year of investigating the best ways for strengthening the interior
of the house, examining in greater detail all its structural needs, various
means for heating, lighting, plumbing; and exploring sources of materials.
Volunteer workers have helped with window sashes, and with outside grading to
carry water away from the cellar.
Further architectural drawings have been made to accommodate any future needs in
use of the upstairs. We have had estimates from two wel 1 -qualified contractors
for the three phases of interior work - structural, utilities, and restoration.
There will be other estimates.
We look forward to the year 1990 when we hope to complete the work, and to
welcome all of you.

HARBORS
Charles D. Surpitski, Harbormaster
David R. Brouillette, Assistant Harbormaster
The waterways of the community have becoming more crowded. The wharf launching
facility is heavily used. Mooring permits issued rose from 508 last year to 580
this year. The natural beauty and the easy access the are offers to shore and
beaches continues to attract visiting boaters in large numbers. Law enforcement
problems that result from congestion and competing uses are rising. Similarly,
the probability of accidents increases.
Through the police department, citizens initiated 110 calls for service. These
included requests for law enforcement, searches for overdue and missing boaters,
requests for other types of assistance and crimes on the waterways.
A new dock was purchased to replace an older dock at the wharf. The older dock
will become a dinghy dock and thus increase the amount of limited time dock
usage space. The marking of the rivers continued and markers were repaired and
replaced as needed. Additional training of personnel to assist in emergency
situations was undertaken. Such training will continue in the future.
The Harbormaster increased the mooring fee from $1 to $2 per foot. The Board of
Selectmen instituted a launching fee at the Wharf of $5 per launch or $35 per
year for Massachusetts residents and $15 per launch or $105 per year for
non-Massachusetts residents. Issues of congestion, water pollution, safe
boating, environmental impact were and will continue to be addressed.

HISTORICAL COMMISSION
Mary P. Conley, Chairman
The Ipswich Historical Commission has given its attention to several projects
whose general purpose has been to enhance the historical assets of the Town.
The first of these was the completion of the first phase of a Preservation
Planning Report by Gretchen Schuler, historical consultant. This report focused
on the preservation goals of the Commission: the architectural and structural
integrity of the historic resources, the preservation of streetscapes and neigh-
borhoods, the protection of overall context of the Town and its unique charac-
ter; and the preservation of open space. The consultant noted that the
Commission has accomplished much with its inventories of historic areas. These
surveys led to the National Register recognition of four districts. Since these
areas have a national importance, she recommended that they be given the protec-
tion of historic district legislation. The Commission discussed this recommen-
dation and possible alternatives, and finally voted to recommend to the Board of
Selectmen that they appoint an Historic District Study Committee.
An interesting part of the year's work was our involvement with the restoration
of Choate Bridge. The key to its success was the cooperation between all those
participating, especially that of Westrack Construction Company, the general
contractor, and Jiba Construction Company which did all the masonry work. Jiba
was chosen through a process by which the masonry firms were pre-qual if ied - a
procedure which, though time consuming, gave us the skills of highly qualified
-48-
masons. Lisa Martin, the Anderson Nichols engineer, and Armand Michaud, head of
the Public Works Department were most cooperative in seeking our input on
historical aspects of the project. The bridge engineering consultants, A.G.
Lichtenstein and Associates examined the bridge when the work was nearly
completed and found that it was very satisfactory in all respects.
The Commission expresses its appreciation to the Selectmen, the Town Manager,
and the townspeople for their support for the kind of project that was not just
a quick-fix but was a true restoration of which we can be proud.
In the spring, the Commission was awarded a matching grant of $4,000 from the
Massachusetts Historical Commission to be used with a $4,000 Town appropriation
for a project entitled "Ipswich Comprehensive Nineteenth Century Industrial and
Ethnic Survey." The Commission members have long felt that there was a dearth
of information concerning the Town's industrial development, and this project
should dig out the facts for us. The historical consultant is Christine Beard.
Much of the research will focus on the history of the early mills, their loca-
tions, products, workers and housing. And in particular, the consultant will
study the coming to town of the various ethnic groups - the Irish, the French,
the Polish, and the Greek. The goal of the whole project in general is to pro-
duce a more complete history of this critical period in the Town's history than
is now avai lable.
********
IPSWICH HOUSING AUTHORITY
Sara S. O'Connor, Chairman
The Ipswich Housing Authority successfully completed a site search for family
housing in 1989. The Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to purchase pro-
perty on Linebrook Road and forge ahead with plans to build 20 units of low-
income family housing. The Executive Office of Community Development approved
the selected site and sent written approval for the development to proceed to
the architectural phase.
A four acre parcel of land was donated to the Ipswich Housing Authority by local
resident Frederick Woodworth. Mr. Woodworth, a senior citizen, realizing the
need for low-income housing for the elderly, approached the IHA with his
generous offer in April of 1989. The IHA accepted the property with the
understanding it would be used for elderly and handicapped housing for low-
income people. The development is at the architectural phase.
Cable Gardens was officially opened in December of 1989. Twenty-eight units of
low-income housing for senior citizens were quickly filled; Ipswich residents
were given priority.
The IHA, reaching out to service low-income citizens in various capacities,
approved Irenicon House and the Conwell House as "project specific"; thus helping
those who would be otherwise unassisted in the housing market.
The Board of Commissioners thank Ray Daniels and the staff for their continued
commitment to public housing in Ipswich.
Finally, the resignation of Stanley Eustace was accepted "with regret".

THE IPSWICH ARTS COUNCIL
Jon Aaron and Georgina J. Traverso, Co-Chairs
The Ipswich Arts Council held a hearing on April 12, 1989, to vote on
Massachusetts Arts Lottery spring grants to artists who had applied. Seven
grants were awarded as follows: The League of Women Voters for their Ipswich
River Festival; Friends of the Doyon School for the funding of a
"Playwright-in-Residence"; Mary Copeland for paintings; The Ipswich Theatre
Ensemble for a summer theatre performance; the United Methodist Church for a
Sunday afternoon music series; Susan Ingram for paintings; and "Cantemus" for a
concert given at the First Congregational Church. The Ipswich School Department
grant proposal, submitted by Fine Arts Co-ordinator, Monica Cirrito-Sheppard,
also received funding for PASS so that students could attend a University of
Lowell performance and Boston Symphony youth concerts.
During Old Ipswich Days, the Arts Council sponsored the Third Annual Art Exhibit
to show the works of Ipswich painters, sculptors, ceramists, and photographers.
A total of $1,300 in prize money was awarded. The Arts Council accepted on
behalf of the Town the gift of a painting of Ipswich donated by the artist,
William Landmesser. Mr. Landmesser had been a 1988 grant recipient, and his
gift painting was displayed at the 1989 Art Exhibit.
On October 4, 1989, the fall grants hearings was held; and grants were awarded
to applicants as follows: Judith Wilson Fouser for paintings; Pamela Wootton
for paintings; Hideaki Miyamura for ceramics using Ipswich clay; The Winthrop
School Friends Special Programs Committee; and the Massachusetts High School
Drama Guild. The Ipswich School Department was again given a grant for PASS
funding for Youth Concerts.

LIBRARY
Eleanor M. Gaunt, Librarian
Crocker Snow, Sr., Chairman, Library Trustees
Our 1989 statistics show that we served more of you than ever before, offering
books, magazines, records, videos, music and spoken cassettes. There was a 4%
increase in circulation over 1988: 89,401 vs. 85,891 items. Because of a
decline in LP records, there were 751 fewer audiovisual items circulated in
1989. We borrowed 469 books from other libraries for Ipswich residents, up from
328 the previous year.
Re-registration of borrowers for new, barcoded plastic library cards averages
75-100 per month. Total number of registered borrowers stands at 5,321. We
added 3,083 books to the collection, up from 2,872, bringing the total number of
books to 61,037. We added 131 cassettes to the collection for a total of 571;
12 records, total 1,544; and 19 videos for a total of 87. We maintain 155 maga-
zine and newspaper subscriptions.
The Reference Department handled over 1,800 inquiries, reflecting increased
demand for information in a variety of areas: business, law, local government,
consumer goods, to name but a few. A sampling ranges from information on
-50-
profit-sharing plans to providing a recipe for home-made dog biscuits. Our stu-
dent population is served by reference collection development policies
reflecting school curricula. Nearly 400 visits were paid to the Archives Room
for local history and genealogy.
Service to children continues to be a major focus of the library. Six pre-
school story times were attended by some 360 children. We host visits from local
kindergarten and nursery schools, along with conducting a monthly program for
Head Start. Holiday activities included after-school programs with video and
crafts related to the special Holiday. Library tours and instruction are held
for local scout troops. The Summer Reading Program, "Brush Up On Reading"
attracted over 200 youngsters, and through the assistance of the Friends of the
Library, the Children's Department co-sponsored four programs on early childhood
behavior with the Anne Sullivan Center.
Response to the Museum Library Pass Program of the Friends has been substantial.
Free passes are available to six area museums. This invaluable support group
continues to sponsor programs for children and adults, and to supplement our
range of audiovisual materials.
During 1989, the library went to line - a significant milestone in the Library's
history - as we completed the conversion from a manual book charging system to
an automated system, concluding three years of preparation. What this means for
Ipswich residents is the capability to draw on literally millions of items which
are stored in the local data base, and through computer technology, it is now
possible to secure a book or piece of information from almost anywhere through you
local public library.
Efforts to expand the library facility were again put on hold when word was
received from the Board of Library Commissioners that our Construction Grant
Application was denied.
Last year's town meeting appropriated $98,000 for air conditioning, necessary
for comfort and essential for preservation of books and irreplaceable historic
manuscripts. At the Town Manager's suggestion, plans and specifications
necessary for bidding were paid for by donated library trust funds, so that the
job could be let out to contract as soon as the appropriation became available
on July 1, 1989. Bidding documents were ready to go early in July, but the Town
Manager, despite repeated requests from the Trustees, has refused to publish the
invitations to bid, and now proposes to ask the next town meeting to rescind the
$98,000 appropriation so that the money can be used elsewhere. (C.S.)
Remember - the Public Library is Ipswich's OTHER educational institution. Plan
to visit your library during 1990 and take advantage of your community's single
information and educational resource, and center for recreational reading.

MASTER PLAN COMMISSION
Benjamin Fierro III, Chairman
In 1989 the Master Plan Commission continued its process of identifying growth
issues in the Town and developing potential responses to them. The year began
with intensive work on the proposed five acre office park district for the Route
One Corridor. The purpose of the district was four-fold: to protect environ-
mental resources; to preserve natural landscapes; to provide for more compatible
-51-
types of uses; and to promote appropriate business development. Drafted by the
Commission's zoning subcommittee, the proposed bylaw received a majority vote at
last year's Town Meeting but failed to garner the two-thirds support needed for
passage.
At the urging of then Board of Selectmen Chairman Thomas Elliott, the Commission
restructured its zoning subcommittee to include two non-voting members to repre-
sent the interests of both the residents and business owners in the Route One
Corridor. Working to develop an acceptable compromise, a redrafted corridor
protection zoning bylaw is expected to be presented at the 1990 Town Meeting.
Again the Commission has had the benefit of the technical assistance of Town
Planner Elizabeth Ware and the consulting firm of Connery Associates.
In the past year the Commission also continued its examination of long-range
growth and historic preservation issues. The infrastructure subcommittee
completed its work with Tufts University to produce a study of the maximum
potential "build-out" of Ipswich under the current Zoning Bylaw. And the
historic subcommittee recommended, and the Commission endorsed, the call by the
Historical Commission for the creation of a Historic District Study Committee.
The year 1989 was also a year of change for the Master Plan Commission. George
Mathey, Catherine Lefebvre, Steve Miles, and past chairman Douglas Denninger
resigned. Joining the Commission were new members Richard McKinnon, Robert
McNeil, and Dana Jordan. In addition, Ruth Barton became a new secretary to the
Master Plan Commission.

METROPOLITAN AREA PLANNING COUNCIL
William E. Bingham, Representative
With the support of Ipswich and 100 other communities in the region, the
Metropolitan Area Planning Council was able to continue to provide planning ser-
vices, information and advice for regional communities during 1989.
Throughout the year, MAPC concentrated on refining MetroPlan 2000, the regional
growth plan adopted in principle by representatives at the 1989 annual meeting
in May. The regional development framework will aid communities in designating
potential growth areas based on the availability of infrastructure, and in
designating areas where growth should be discouraged.
With a regional plan, growth can be directed so that affordable housing issues
are addressed, open space and environmentally sensitive areas are protected, and
transportation habits that contribute to traffic congestion and air pollution
are changed.
At the same time, planned growth can encourage new job opportunities by pro-
viding incentives for growth in specific areas. In addition, with a shortage of
funds to build new roads or maintain old ones, planned growth encourages the
best use of limited resources.
In fiscal year 1989, which runs from July 1, 1988 through June 30, 1989, Ipswich
contributed $2,237 to MAPC for regional planning services.
In addition to MetroPlan 2000 planning efforts, MAPC staff produced community
population and employment forecasts, and updated the development file and vacant
sites survey for each community.
-52-
Some communities also took advantage of information programs, and met with MAPC
planners to discuss the federal Transportation Improvement Program, trip reduc-
tion tools, curb cut controls, and impact fees. In Ipswich:
° The Board of Selectmen endorsed transportation priorities
established by the North Shore Transportation Task Force.
Subsequently, three of the projects were included in the
Massachusetts Department of Public Works Five Year Highway Plan
of the Regional Transportation Improvement Program.
° NSTTF adopted a voluntary regional impacts review procedure for
new developments.
MAPC provided the federal Census Bureau with a database of signi-
ficant workplaces in the nine regional communities outside the
Census Bureau's address coding files. The towns are: Bolton,
Boxborough, Carlisle^, Essex, Hopkinton, Ipswich, Littleton,
Middleton, and Stow.
° MAPC transportation staff researched the status of a bridge pro-
ject for the Board of Selectmen.
MAPC appreciates our continued support. In the coming year, we are encouraged
to engage in MetroPlan 2000 planning activities, as well as to utilize the
planning skills and knowledge available from MAPC staff.

PLANNING BOARD
Patrick J. McNally, Chairman
Elizabeth M. Ware, Town Planner
Even with the purported lag in the real estate market, the Planning Board has
been extremely busy this past year. In addition to reviewing a number of deve-
lopment proposals, the Board revised several of their regulations and fee sche-
dules and continues to work to concentrate on long-range growth issues
confronting Ipswich. The Board's staff, consisting of a full-time Planner, part'
time assistant and part-time subdivision inspector, have all worked to insure
that Planning Board research, policies and the actual construction of approved
developments progress properly.
Within fiscal year 1989-90, the Board reviewed a number of development plans.
These included: approximately 28 Form A plans (subdivision approval not
required); 2 preliminary subdivision plans; 8 definitive subdivision plans
(which created 55 new building lots); 6 special permit applications and 4
site plans. The adoption of the Water Supply District By-law in 1983 and the
Site Plan Review by-law in 1987 have both contributed greatly to the Board's
workload; however, the Board believes that these by-laws are critically impor-
tant in the future growth of the town. The Water Supply District by-law was
established to assure continued control and monitoring of development within
town water supply districts. The Board is presently working with its con-
sultants, Metcalf and Eddy Co., on a groundwater monitoring program for the High
Street/Mitchell Road area. This effort will result in regular monitoring for
Brown's well and, ultimately, will operate to insure clean water to present and
future Ipswich residents.
-53-
Established primarily to mitigate traffic and drainage impacts of newly
constructed buildings within town, the site plan review by-law was originally
subject of controversy. While this by-law appears to be more accepted by the
development community, it remains a controversial by-law. After working with
the by-law for over the past two years, the Board has discovered that changes
will be required in order to make it a more effective by-law.
Controversy has not be exclusive to by-laws within the past year. The position
of Town Planner continues to be a hotly debated issue among town residents and
developers alike. The Board strongly believes that for the present and future
growth of Ipswich a planner is necessary to oversee the day-to-day activities
within the Planning Board office as well as to research and plan for the long
range growth of the Town. With legal and permiting procedures becoming more
complex over the years, the wide range of Planning Board responsibilities under
Chapters 40A and 41 of the Massachusetts General Laws and the need for constant
communications between departments, a full-time professional staff person is
invaluable - it is unrealistic to believe that this volunteer board would be
able to operate as efficiently without such staffing.
********
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Charles D. Surpitski, Chief
During the past year, all acting positions were filled on a permanent basis.
Charles D. Surpitski was appointed Chief, Gavin Keenan and Daniel Moriarty as
Sergeants, and Peter Dziadose and Thomas Colpitts as Patrolmen. The department
is now at full strength.
Remaining responsive to the needs of the community, certain personnel were
realigned to deal with the complex proolem of crime and the troubling problem of
alcohol and illegal drug use. To this end, an officer has been assigned to work
closely with community prevention programs and another to increase investiga-
tory efforts and enforcement against drug sales and related crimes.
Police Officers answered 7517 citizens initiated calls for service, issued 1524
non-criminal traffic citations, and made 444 arrests resulting in 921 criminal
law violations. A statistical analysis of the types of calls answered follows:
Larceny 224
Liquor Law Violations 31
Motor Vehicle Theft/Recovery 53
Malicious Damage 215
Medical Aid 177
Missing & Runaways 67
Motor Vehicle Accidents 399
Offences Against Family 180
Suspicion 490
Stolen Property (Receiving) 6
Weapons Carrying/Possessing 15
Warrant Arrests Non-Ipswich 43
The Department will continue its efforts to meet the changing needs and expectations
of the community. State-of-the-art police service will be guaranteed by ongoing
training programs. Citizen involvement and input will be recognized and valued.
Cooperatively, Ipswich can become a safer community.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
Armand T. Michaud, Director
The Public Works Department coordinates the activities of the following divi-
sions: Public Works Administration, Highway, Forestry, Equipment Maintenance,
and Snow and Ice Control. Each division is charged with particular respon-
sibilities relating to its duties. When additional manpower is required to per-
form specific tasks, personnel are interchanged within the divisions.
Below is a summary of the work completed by each of the Public Works Divisions.
Snow and Ice Control
The Public Works Divisions combine their work forces during the winter months.
Work consists of plowing roads, hauling snow, sanding, salting roadways, filling
sand barrels, cleaning catch basins, clearing snow away from hydrants and
answering miscellaneous complaints. Other personnel assisting the Public Works
crews during the height of the snow storms were from the Cemetery, Water, and
Sewer Departments. Also utilized were the services of 12 private contractors.
Equipment Maintenance Division - Robert Hetnar, Diesel Mechanic
All Public Works vehicles are serviced and repaired at the Town Garage. At pre-
sent there are 32 pieces of motorized equipment that must be kept in good
operating condition to insure availability when needed. Operation cost records
showing maintenance and gas/oil expenses on each vehicle can be ascertained from
the Public Works Administration Office in the Town Hall.
Building Maintenance Division
Routine maintenance and minor repairs were performed at the Town Hall and
Municipal Garage throughout the year. New heating pipes were installed in the
Town Hal 1 .
Highway Division - Norman Stone, Foreman
The Highway Division which is the largest in the Public Works Department is
charged with the maintenance and repairing of the Town's streets and drainage
systems. The winter schedule consists mainly of Snow and Ice Control and
routine maintenance which does not require excavation. During the other three
seasons, the men are kept busy with projects varying from road construction to
street sweeping.
Normal maintenance consists of patching streets, repairing the Town's drains,
repairing sidewalks, and maintenance on all signs.
All catch basins in Town were cleaned. Several plugged drains were cleared.
New storm drains were put in on Lakemans Lane, Linebrook Road, and Newbury Road.
The following roads were hot topped: Newbury Road, Boxford Road, and Wildes
Court.
Street sweeping was performed twice a week in the downtown area from April to
December. All Town roads and sidewalks were swept in the spring to rid them of
wi nter sand deposits.
-55-
Crosswalks, parking spaces, and traffic lines were painted in the downtown
areas. As in previous years, the crosswalks were painted green. Also, 142,239
linear feet of center lines and fog lines were painted.
All gravel roads were graded twice in 1989.
The Highway Division purchased one new truck and plow and one new front end
loader and plow.
Other projects included rebuilding the parking lot at the Ipswich Savings Bank,
Hills Family Store, and Town parking lot. The Choate Bridge and the Winthrop
Street Bridge were also rebuilt.
Forestry Division - Robert Comeau, Foreman
The mitigation of the Dutch Elm Disease has again been one of the principal con-
cerns of the Forestry Division. Approximately 192 elm trees with beetle
infestation were removed as well as maples, oaks, lindens, and pines.
Each first grade student was given an ash tree to take, plant, and care for in
observance of Arbor Day. About 317 trees were donated.
The Forestry Division planted approximately 98 various types of trees around
Town. Also, they planted several trees on High Street and Argilla Road for
local Garden Clubs.
Round-up was sprayed along several miles of roadside to control brush and weeds.
Other work performed by the Forestry Division consists of trimming and pruning
trees, removing limbs, cutting brush (major projects were along Kimball Brook,
as well as several roads), roadside mowing, setting up voting booths for elec-
tion, and setting up for the Annual Town Meeting.
********
RECREATION AND YOUTH DEPARTMENT
Elizabeth M. Dorman, Director
Programs and activities were organized for various age groups. For children
there were summer playground programs, swim, tennis, and golf lessons, Halloween
Parade & Program, Xmas program, vacation week activities, summer track, sand
sculpture and several trips (roller skating, Canobie Lake, Bevery Luau, pizza
party/magic show, movie trip, Children's Museum). The Hershey track com-
petition had seven local youngsters qualify for a total of six events at the
State Meet.
Activities for teens included ski trips, a Red Sox game, roller skating. Xmas
shopping, a dance, and trips to movies, Canobie Lake, Water Country and
"Haunted" Hammond Castle. Trips and events were also organized twice a month
during the school year for special needs youngsters in our local Saturday
Recreation Program.
Volleyball and basketball programs continued for adults as well as tennis
lessons, ballroom dance classes, Community Band, and a trip to the Boston Pops.
Family events included Xmas programs, the annual Marathon, a block dance, summer
56-
evening outdoor concerts, and a Red Sox game, and civic events such as the
Memorial Day Parade and the July 4th Children's Parade and Field Day. Senior
citizen activities included trips to the Flower Show, J.F.K. Library, Copley
Place, Aquarium, Freeport, Maine, a N.H. blueberry farm, Vietnam Wall Replica,
Beverly Lobster Festival, Bolton Orchards, Fall River Outlet Shopping and the
Pheasant Lane Mall, as well as transportation to nearby concerts, Giordano's
Dinner Theatre, and the Topsfield Fair. A billiards program began on weekday
mornings at the Memorial Building.
Office activities included the issuing of over 300 permits for ballfields and
tennis court use as well as scheduling the various users of the Memorial
Building. Registrations were handled for over 600 swim slots and numerous trips
for different age groups as well as the Marathon. A Life Skills Class of older
teens from the Cape Ann Collaborative used Memorial Building space three days a
week beginning in September.
Affiliation continued with the National Youth Sports Coaching Association and
training was again provided for local volunteer coaches. Several were certified
in baseball, Softball, or soccer after attending sessions taught by the
Recreation Director.
Cooperation with the School Department allowed a sharing of fields and facili-
ties; and alliances were continued with veterans' groups, senior citizens, youth
and adults sports leagues, Scout and Campfire groups, and the YMCA. Many town
groups used the Memorial Building for meetings, registration sessions, and
classes. Coordination with PARK, a parent's group interested in improved equip-
ment at local playgrounds included a major fundraiser, a family Fun Fair in
February. New equipment was purchased cooperatively by PARK and Town
appropriations, and it was installed at Bialek Park by a volunteer work crew in
May, followed by a dedication ceremony in June. An addition for handicapped
youngsters, made possible by a grant from Bio Labs, was installed in the fall.
Plans for improvements at Great Neck Playground were developed with input from
residents of that area, and a Bialek snack bar was built with funds and labor
from Little League.
Lifeguard coverage at Pavilion Beach continued daily through the summer season,
and a number of rescues were performed by staff members. The swim program
returned to Don Bosco, and students were bused for two sessions a day. A
weekly golf lesson was offered for teens at the Ipswich Country Club.
The seven-member Recreation Commission and Recreation Director met regularly
throughout the year to discuss programs, plans, facilities, and policies.
********
SHELLFISH DEPARTMENT
Philip A. Kent, Shellfish Constable
Thomas F. Dorman, Chairman, Shellfish Advisory Board
The year 1989 should mark the beginning of an upward trend in the shellfishing
effort in Ipswich and other nearby communities, following a four year period of
poor harvests. Many new seed beds have been reported to be growing and should
provide for better clamming over the next two years. Oyster fishing has grown
-57-
over the last two years. The bottoms of many shallow creeks contain modest num-
bers of oysters, most being attached to rocks and old mussel or sea clam shells.
To protect this young fishery, a daily limit of 30 oysters is enforced with a
closed season from May 1st through August 31st.
The red tide appeared again this year, keeping all forms of shellfishing
restricted through most of June and July. The levels of red tide were the
highest they have been since 1973. Sea clams are still restricted at this time
as they have retained just over the limit amounts of the red tide toxin. We
have experienced closures for red tide in every 5 out of 6 years.
Several projects were in progress during 1989. Selective crab potting inshore
in creeks produced 265 bushels of green crabs, the #1 predator of soft-shelled
clams. Hydraulic cultivation, the washing of the top 1-2 inches of the topsoil
on muddy unproductive areas to remove silt and to increase the size of the sur-
face particles has been attempted on a small scale. This type of project needs
further testing to determine if new seed has appeared in the experimental areas
The recreation area in Eagle Hill Cove and the Eagle Hill Reef were the reci-
pients of reseeded clams from Nuffield Reef. Relaying was done in August and
agai n in October.
Rainfall closures, a state procedure, prevent the taking of all shellfish for
three days following a rainfall of more than one-half inch within the 24 hour
period. This restriction has limited the number of days that recreational and
commercial she! If i shermen can use the resource.

SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Jeffrey A. Simon, Chairman
During the last year, the Ipswich Schools continued their forward progress
toward excellence at all levels. The School Committee and Superintendent
Richard Thompson have worked closely together to have the system give emphasis
to several areas in particular. These included critical thinking skills,
reading, and math. Each area has always been a vital part of the curriculum,
but they are distinguished this year because the research and recommendations
for change from nationally known groups have been so significant.
In the area of critical thinking skills, we are trying to incorporate reasoning
in a way that will prepare our students to deal with large amounts of infor-
mation that change rapidly. Several studies have suggested that today's gra-
duates will change careers, not just jobs but careers, four times in their
working lives. Therefore, they need to be able to analyze, to compare, to draw
inferences and conclusions. This will be true no matter what the job or the
skill level required.
-58-
Reading is another area that has undergone tremendous change. Reading is the
key to so many other areas of learning, that it is extremely important that
every new and proven method of teaching children to read be used. The change
from teaching reading primarily through primers to teaching reading as a gateway
to thought and expression has been firmly incorporated into the curriculum and
continues to be one of the most productive and exciting areas of the school
system's improvement.
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics produced a new set of curriculum
objectives which this organization's members feel are important not just to the
teaching of math, but to the teaching of math as it relates to the competitive
position of the United States in the world today. It stresses the real world
goals of problem solving, of estimating, of making use of the technology of com-
puters and calculators. It suggests that we need to spend time not only on
teaching number facts, but on making sure that students know which facts and
which approaches they need to be mindful of to deal with issues in an
increasingly technological world.
The year at Ipswich High School was marked by the retirement of Charles McKenzie
as Assistant Principal. Charlie, whose teaching abilities, compassion, and
sense of humor were a part of the high school for so many years, staged his last
graduation ceremony in June. He was replaced by Richard Kieran who began with
us last fall. Highlights of the year at Ipswich High School included
outstanding scores for our students on the Advanced Placement Examinations given
to high school students for college credit. The achievements of the students
that took the exams this year were the best to day, and compare favorably to the
best in the country. Another highlight was the beginning of the satellite
learning center which will allow Ipswich students and faculty to participate in
national teleconferencing and classes. The single biggest challenge is to main-
tain our diverse course offerings in the face of declining high school
enrollment. I am glad to be able to report that largely through the creativity
of Principal Steve Fortado, this has been accomplished. Beginning next year,
enrollment will begin a long slow climb.
A leadership change also occurred at the Ipswich Middle School. Principal
Ronald Landman accepted a job in the Swampscott school system. Ron's concerns
for the success of students and his accomplishments in bringing the Middle
School from a junior high school to a real middle school have left the foun-
dation for a tremendous amount of future success. Ron was replaced on an
interim basis by Barry Hopping, who was Athletic Director. One highlight of the
year was having a student, Daniel Hughes, receive an Honorable Mention in the
Boston Globe Art Contest. In another area, the teaching teams for each grade
built on the middle school concept by incorporating interdisciplinary units into
the year, with the 6th grade doing an environmental unit, and the 7th and 8th
grades approaching the teaching of all subject areas from the point of view of a
historical look at the relations that countries have had with each other.
At the Doyon school, progress continued in all areas, with several items of par-
ticular notice. The use of calculators as a teaching tool for math was greatly
increased. Reading was given special emphasis with the accomplishment by the
Doyon students of reading one million minutes. Even Principal Ken Cooper was
porting an "I Read One Million Minutes" button. In keeping with the need to
teach not only academics but to instill values, the school adopted Politeness as
its focus this year. Discussions, assemblies, and Doyon Politeness buttons all
helped this effort. A very successful playwright in residence program was held,
59-
with playwright Barbara Bejoian working at the school. Thirty students were
involved in writing a play which was then performed with the involvement of 100
students. The Friends of Doyon sponsored a hard bound journal program where
students will have a five-year record of their progress in writing. Involving
parents in a major effort to reinforce writing can only be a formula for both
current and future success.
Winthrop School saw progress in both academic areas, physical plant, and staff
development. A whole language course given for college credit was sponsored at
Winthrop for both Winthrop and Doyon teachers. This provided an exciting frame-
work for teachers to incorporate the latest research and teaching skills into
the curriculum. A real community effort occurred to renovate the cafeteria.
The Friends of Winthrop, the Friends of the Arts, the School Improvement
Council, and a major fundraiser, all contributed to a new floor, murals on the
wall, acoustic tiles, and new stage curtains. The room is a central focus not
only for the school, but for the community. Principal Rebecca van der Bogart's
outreach efforts with items like the Parents Forum, have served to bring a
steady stream of parents into the building at all times. The Volunteers in
School program, designed to bring members of the community in to help out with
teaching duties in the classroom on a regular basis, has brought in several
hundred people/hours per month, going as high as 275 hours in one month. Values
reinforcement through a program called PEP, or People Encouraging People, was
designed to catch students in the act of helping someone else. PEP badges were
worn with great pride by a variety of students.
In summary, it has been a year of steady growth, of concrete achievement, and of
system development. While the constraints of Proposition 2i coupled with cut-
backs in State funding have made it harder to do more with less, the community
should be proud that it has a school system which values excellence, learning,
and achievement at all levels.

SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Richard F. Thompson
Calendar Year 1989 was again a year for new administrators in the Ipswich School
System. Richard Kieran came to us as Assistant Principal at the High School
replacing Charlie McKenzie; Barry Hopping moved from Athletic Director's posi-
tion to the Middle School Principal replacing Ron Landman who accepted a prin-
cipal ship in Swampscott; and Chuck Holman has moved from full-time teacher at
Ipswich High School to become the Athletic Director for Ipswich. I'm happy to
report that feedback from parents and students is that these new administrators
are doing well, and each is making progress and building on the accomplishments
of his predecessor.
Each year the Ipswich School System attempts to improve its performance and
efficiency in all the many areas required by the law, by parents, and our stu-
dents' needs. I would like to comment on two programs which have received many
honors for their accomplishments and some discussion over the past twelve
months.
-60-
The Fine Arts Program is now clearly one of the best programs in the State.
During the last year, the following honors were conveyed on the program or the
school district:
The National School Boards Association award from recognition of
outstanding support of the arts in education.
The High School Jazz Ensemble placed second in the State District
Jazz Competition.
Three students received Boston Globe Scholastic Art Awards.
° Five students received State All-Cast Acting Awards.
Three students made Northeast Junior District Chorus and Band.
° Eleven students made Northeast Senior District Chorus, Band, or
Jazz Band. Six students were recognized at State Level.
° A High School Senior won the Hallmark Honor Award given to the
top five art students in the State.
° A sophomore was the highest scoring soprano in the State and was
recommended for the National Eastern Division Honors Chorus.
This past year, fifteen seniors went into the arts or arts-related undergraduate
programs; our second largest group after liberal arts.
The Gifted and Talented Program (GATE) has also had some great accomplishments
during the past year. One of our fourth grade students, Christopher Nylen,
represents the third consecutive year in which Ipswich has had one of only 104
winners in the Nationwide contest for young writers. For different students to
win consistently on a national level, we know something good must be happening.
Students participated in the "JASON Project", a live broadcast from the floor of
the Mediterranean Sea. One local student had the privilege of asking Dr. Ballard,
creator of the JASON Project, a question (by satellite) about what they were
finding under the sea.
Students also participated in the "Kids' Network" program which is sponsored by
the National Geographic Society. This program has our students gathering scien-
tific information and sharing data and results with students all over the
country. This combination of working with real scientists, other students, and
sharing research data by computer is outstanding science education.
On a system-wide basis, these programs are but two of many which continue to
improve in quality if not in resources. We are all proud of these exemplary
programs.
It is my firm belief and hope that even though the Proposition 2i effects are
now negatively impacting the school system, we will all continue to improve the
quality of services to all Ipswich citizens from the \/ery young through the
senior citizens during the next year.

PAUL F. DOYON MEMORIAL SCHOOL
Kenneth B. Cooper, Ph.D., Principal
The 1988-1989 school year can best be characterized as one of general stability
in terms of faculty and student population, and as a period of significant growth
in instructional programs.
-61-
Our student population has remained constant at about 390, with an average class
size of 21-22 students (less in Kindergarten and Readiness).
New to the staff were: 1) Mrs. Carol St. John in grade 4. Mrs. St. John comes to
us with sixteen years of classroom experience and a Masters Degree in Writing
from Northeastern; 2) Mrs. Donna C. Gale in Guidance - Mrs. Gale worked as
Elementary Guidance Counselor in Marblehead for several years and holds a
Masters Degree in Counseling from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst;
and 3) Mrs. John Frank, our new art teacher - Mrs. Frank has 12 years of
experience in elementary classroom instruction, has published numerous articles
in art periodicals, and holds a Masters Degree from Drew University.
The year 1988-1989 was a period of continued growth in several major areas of
the curriculum at the Doyon Elementary School. In Reading, we acquired a new
literature-based basal text ( The World of Reading , published by Silver Burdette)
which facilitates integration of writing and reading. Hundreds of new books,
including the Halloran Collection , have been added to our library. We also
began--and more importantly, completed--a "Million Minutes of Reading"
schoolwide program. The Math program has been moving towards implementing the
1989 recommendations of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics by
1) focusing increasingly on problem solving; 2) expanding the use of math mani-
pulatives (and other "Math Their Way" activities) at all grade levels; and 3)
introducing the use of calculators. Our language arts and writing programs were
strengthened by 1) staff development initiatives in the use of "whole language"
techniques; 2) continued expansion in the use of the "writing process;" 3)
acquisition of hard-bound journals to be used over a number of years for all
students K-2; and 4) a playwright in residence program which culminated in four
gala presentations of two plays written by our students.
We are especially pleased about strides made in the science program. Five
faculty members participated in an extensive training program jointly sponsored
by the Massachusetts Elementary School Principal's Association and Tufts
University. In addition, Mrs. Winifred Stone, Mrs. Josephine Burke, and
Mrs. Dorothy Nicholas applied for and received summer science internships as
part of the Museum Institute for Teaching Science. We are looking forward to
integrating even more "hands-on" experiences in our science program.
Doyon continues to do well in the standardized testing department, with the
schoolwide median Total Battery on the California Achievement Tests above the
85th percentile. Scores in all areas on the Massachusetts Educational
Assessment program were above the state median (with reading and science scores
above our own "comparison score band"). Grade 3 Basic Skills test results were
above 96 percent in all areas.
The Friends of Doyon, our parent support group, continues to provide the special
assistance that makes grand things possible. To them we owe the success of the
Book Swap, the Assembly Programs, the Million Minutes and the Playwright in
Residence project. They are a generous and a joyful group, and we want to be
sure that they know how much we value their involvement.
As Principal I continue to feel especially fortunate to be working with a dedi-
cated and talented faculty in a community that cares about education. It was a
super year, and the future looks bright.

********
WINTHROP SCHOOL
M. Rebecca van der Bogert, Principal
The calendar year 1989 has shown all of us at the Winthrop School the benefits
that can be reaped from a strong working relationship among parents, staff, and
students. Our students have been the recipients of both active teacher par-
ticipation and parent involvement.
Parents have contributed through many organizations. The Friends of Winthrop
have met on a monthly basis to hear presentations on educational issues, they
provide daily support to teachers, and have sponsored the annual Jogathon and
Ice Cream Social. Our Parent Forum has met monthly to discuss concerns that
arise and to brainstorm waysof improving our school. The Volunteers In Schools
has been successful again this year and continues to assist us with 42 parents
working closely with classroom teachers to provide students that extra boost.
We've also been able to expand the number of students involved in our parent
organized Great Books Reading program. Once again our students have been
exposed to high level performances through the efforts of our Special Program
Committee.
Thanks' to a major fundraiser that was organized by parents, we've turned our
cafeteria into a Gallery and performing area which will be open to the public.
This fundraiser also helped us move toward networking with other schools and
teaching our students about telecommunications.
Our teachers have been deeply involved in the learning process themselves. As
we move to prepare our students for the year 2000, our staff has been attending
workshops, taking courses, and reading avidly about the latest teaching strate-
gies, curriculum changes, and projects about the future for our students. We've
been refining the work we did last year on our writing program, are in the pro-
cess of developing a literature based reading approach, and are working inten-
sely on teaching our students mathematical problem solving through a Math Their
Way Program.
All of us at the Winthrop School approach 1990 with a sense of accomplishment
about 1989. We have an awareness that the challenge to educate our students for
the future is a monumental one, but one that we are looking forward to with a
sense of togetherness, hard work, and excitement.
********
IPSWICH MIDDLE SCHOOL
Barry W. Hopping, Principal
In September of 1988, we opened our doors to 317 students in grades 6, 7, and 8.
In recent years where declining enrollments have been an on-going concern, it
was an encouraging sign to welcome 117 sixth graders to our school. Due in
large part to a "move up" day the previous spring and a sixth grade orientation
for students and parents held in August, the year began for our new academicians
with nary a hitch.
-63-
The 1988-1989 school year was also witness to several exciting events here at
the Ipswich Middle School. In keeping with middle school philosophy, emphasis
was on inter-disciplinary units in all three grades. Perhaps most indicative of
this approach was the "Science and Art of the Sea" project, a series of marine
studies workshops designed for our sixth and seventh graders. Among the in-
school of off-site activities our students participated in were mapping and
navigation, literature of the sea, and a study of the future of ocean resources.
Students were made to realize the importance of teamwork and cooperative
learning as they delved into "real world" issues.
Our Media Center has remained on the "cutting edge" of advanced educational
technology. During the past year, laser disk instruction has been introduced
with the purchase of a laser disk player and math disks for all three grades.
We've also updated our extensive research reference section with the purchase of
an ACD ROM player which, when connected to the Macintosh computer, provides on-
line searching through Grolier's Academic American Encyclopedia.
Students received a great deal of special recognition in the areas of art,
music, and athletics. In art, we were well represented in the Scholastic Art
Contest sponsored by the Boston Globe. Our chorus and band students were widely
praised for their performances around town and at several area malls during the
holidays. Our athletic teams were all competitive and represented the school
with tremendous pride and enthusiasm.
Community relations was also an area of continued growth and strength. Our very
active parents' organization assisted in the planning and organizing of various
special events. Our student council not only coordinated a food drive for needy
families in town, but also orchestrated a program which allowed students to
visit the Caldwell Nursing Home and help with the patients there. The nuturing
of goodwill among our students and other members of the community remained a
high priority for us. Overall, the relationships we have developed as a result
of these commitments have shown our students the importance of positive involve-
ment with those requiring support and constant encouragement.
In conclusion, we would like to thank the community for their continued support
in our quest to provide quality programs for our students. We appreciate what-
ever assistance our townspeople can offer. The future success of our school
depends on the combined efforts of everyone; the need to work together has never
been more urgent!

IPSWICH HIGH SCHOOL
Stephen M. Fortado, Principal
I am pleased to submit my fifth annual report to the citizens of Ipswich.
The 1988-89 school year began with 407 students enrolled in grades nine through
twelve. One hundred freshmen replaced the one hundred and twenty-one seniors
who graduated on June 11. We hope we have reached the lowest point in
enrollments. We should see a gradual increase beginning in two years.
One of the highlights of the school year was the visit to Ipswich High School by
Dr. Rita Dunn, Director of the Center for the Study of Learning and Teaching
Styles at St. John's University, New York. Dr. Dunn conducted a day-long workshop
■64-
for the high school faculty on individual student learning styles. Her instruc-
tional insights generated considerable interest among our teachers. Four
teachers went to New York in February for intensive training and came back eager
to share with their colleagues. We administered individual learning style
diagnostic tests to all of our students and shared the results with students,
teachers, and parents. Many students have been able to make significant adjust-
mentsin the way they study because of their knowledge of their individual
learning styles. Several teachers have made adjustments in their teaching style
to more effectively reach their students. We will continue to use learning styles
information to help students and teachers increase their effectiveness.
In May, thirty-three of our students took Advance Placement exams in eight dif-
ferent subjects: Art History, Biology, Calculus, English Literature and
Composition, French Language, Physics, Spanish Language, and U. S. History. We
were delighted to learn that Ipswich High School students scored higher than the
Massachusetts and national averages in seven of the eight areas. Kudos were in
order for our students and their teachers.
An important era came to end when Assistant Principal Charles McKenzie retired
in June after thirty-one years of service at Ipswich High School. His many
friends wished him well at a retirement banquet held in May at the Hawthorne
Hotel . He will be mi ssed.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the students, parents, and citizens
of Ipswich for their continued support of our efforts to provide quality educa-
tion for all the students of Ipswich High School.

TOWN COUNSEL
Charles C. Dalton
The year 1989 was an unusually active year for the Town's Legal Department. The
Town purchased two parcels of real estate and used its eminent domain power to
acquire drainage and related easements on several other parcels of property.
Among the real estate which the Town acquired during 1989 was a 2.4 acre parcel
on High Street, abutting the High School, for $162,500, and a 25 acre parcel
near the Rowley town line for $100,000. It is expected that both properties
will be kept in their natural state.
In the litigation area, the Town prevailed in a prolonged Federal Civil Rights
lawsuit brought in 1988 by the Viladenis family alleging that in 1982 the Town
had violated the Viladenis' constitutional rights by its failure to maintain the
Brown Square Extension in a manner acceptable to the Viladenises. The case was
ultimately dismissed after substantial pre-trial proceedings.
The Building Inspector, Planning Board, and Board of Appeals were involved in
several lawsuits enforcing or defending the Zoning By-Law in regard to a multi-
tude of properties throughout Town. A suit against the Selectmen as Sewer
Commissioners which originated in 1983 and involved a proposed 32 unit con-
dominium project on Mitchell Road was settled in principal during 1989.
Most potential and actual legal disputes between Town Employees and Boards and
various opposing parties were amicably resolved to the Town's satisfaction
without resort to any judicial proceedings.

WHITTIER REGIONAL VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL
Richard M. Kay, Superintendent Director
Eugene A. Hailson, Ipswich Representative
Whittier Regional Vocational Technical High School is entering its seventeenth
year. To date, we have graduated 4440 students from a regular day school
program and 672 students from our post secondary courses.
In accordance with the provisions of the School Improvement Law (Chapter 188),
Whittier has accomplished the following:
1. The School Improvement Council
The School Improvement Council comprised of administrators, teachers,
parents, and students has met and will be recommending projects using
grant monies in the amount of $2,751.00.
2. Horace Mann Grant
Progress is ongoing in three projects approved by the School Committee
for teachers to develop various proposals which could result in student
benefit: A Newsletter for the Freshmen, a Project on Drug and Alcohol
Abuse Problems, and a continuation of the Computer Software Evaluation
Process.
Prior Horace Mann Grants are being implemented in Public Relations
publications, curriculum updates/revisions, computer facilities and
software.
Recently Whittier Regional has implemented procedures, installed systems,
modified existing systems and devices, and is proceeding with the remainder of
over $540,000 in energy grants. The measures involved are savings of energy
through exhaust air heat recover, room and shop air circulation systems,
lighting fixtures and lamp replacement, sawdust recovery filters and heated air
recirculation, and conversion to gas energy alternatives. These measures have
enabled the school to decrease its energy needs and, therefore, result in
savings to the communities.
-70-
Whittier Regional has recently processed an update to the New England
Association of Schools and Colleges school accreditation, and recommendations
have been implemented.
Whittier Regional has recently successfully undergone an extensive State
Department Chapter 74 audit. This audit involves an on-site visitation by a
team of experts with specialty in vocational program areas and curriculums and
has resulted in continuing program approval and state and federal funding.

TOWN OF IPSWICH, MASSACHUSETTS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1989
Summary of Significant Accounting Polices
The accounting policies for financial reporting purposes of
the Town of Ipswich conform to generally accepted accounting
principles for local governmental units except as indicated
in note 2.
A. Fund Accounting
The Town reports its financial activities in several
funds and one account group in order to comply with the
limitations and restrictions placed on both the re-
sources made available to the Town and services pro-
vided. The various funds are grouped in the financial
statements in this report into six generic fund types
and three broad fund categories as follows:
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
General Fund
The general fund is the general operating fund of the
Town. It is used to account for all financial resources
except those required to be accounted for in another
fund.
Special Revenue Fund - General Revenue Sharing
This special revenue fund is used to account for the
proceeds of the State and Local Fiscal Assistance Act
and their expenditures as prescribed by the Office of
Federal Revenue Sharing.
Special Revenue Funds - Other
This special revenue fund is used to account for the pro-
ceeds of specific revenue resources (other than general
revenue sharing, expendable trusts of major capital pro-
jects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for
specified purposes.
Capital Projects Fund
The capital projects funds are used to account for
financial resources to be used for the acquisition or
construction of major facilites (other than those
financed by proprietary funds and trust funds) .
PROPRIETARY FUND
Sewer - Water - Electric Funds
Sewer, water, and electric funds are used to account for
operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner
similar to private business enterprises - where the in-
tent of the governing body is that the costs of providing
■87-
goods or services to the general public on a' continuing
basis be financed or recovered primarily through user
charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided
that periodic determination of revenue earned, expenses
incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital
maintenance, public policy, management control, account-
ability, or other purposes where all financial transactions
are maintained as separate funds - namely, Sewer Fund,
Water Fund, Electric Fund.
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
Trust and Agency Funds
Trust and agency funds are used to account for assets held
by the Town in a trustee capacity or as an agent for
individuals, private organizations, other governments
and/or other funds. These include expendable trust, non-
expendable trust and agency funds. Nonexpendable trust
funds are accounted for in a manner that permits the
periodic measurement of revenue earned, expenses in-
curred and/or net income in order to demonstrate main-
tenace of capital. Expendable trust funds are accounted
for in essentially the same manner as governmental funds.
Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities)
and do not involve measurement of results of operations.
ACCOUNT GROUP
Long-Term Debt and Liabilities - Long-Term liabilites expected
to be financed from governmental funds are accumulated in
the general long-term debt group of accounts. This account
group is not a fund. It is only concerned with the measure-
ment of financial position and therefore, is not involved
with a measurement of the results from any operation.
B. Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements, except for the
enterprise funds as noted below, have been prepared prin-
cipally on the modified accrual basis of accounting. This
method recognizes revenues when they become measurable and
available. Expenses are recognized under this method as
they are incurred.
The accompanying financial statements of the enterprise fund
have been prepared and presented on the accrual basis of
accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized in
the accounting period in which they are earned and expenses
are recognized when the related liability is incurred.
-88-
Revenue Recognition
Property tax revenues are recognized as revenue when they
become available. Available means then due, or past due
and receivable within the current period, or expected to be
collected soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities
of the current period.
All other revenues are recognized throughout the year when
cash is received. Receipts during the sixty days
immediately following the close of the fiscal year are also
recognized as available revenue.
In applying the susceptible to accrual concept to inter-
governmental revenues, the legal and contractual re-
quirements of the numerous individual programs re used
as guidance. There are, however, essectially two types
of these revenues. In one, monies must be expected on the
specific purpose or projuct before any amounts will be paid
to the Town, therefore, revenues are recognized based upon
the expenditures recorded. In the other, monies are virt-
ually unrestricted as to purpose of expenditures and are
usually revocable only for failure to comply with pre-
scribed compliance requirements. These resources are re-
flected as revenues at the time of receipt or earlier if the
susceptible to accrual criteria is met.
Expenses
Expenditures are recorded during the year ona cash dis-
bursement basis. In addition, as required by Massachusetts
General Laws, disbursements made during the fifteen days
immediately following the close of each fiscal year and
which pertain to the prior year are recorded as expenses as
of June 30th.
Purchase orders outstanding at June 30th related to annual
operating expenses are recorded as encumbrances and, accord-
ingly, as a reservation of fund balances at the date.
GAAP Basis Amounts - Property taxes on the combined state-
ment of revenues and expenditures - budget and actual -
general and revenue sharing funds (exhibit 3) has been
stated in accordance with interpretation number 3 issued by
the National Council on Governmental Accounting.
2. Departures from Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
During 1981, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts issued a revised
uniform municipal accounting system entitles "U.M.A.S." The de-
partures from G.A.A.F. under this revised system have been
significantly narrowed. The Town has adopted the revised uniform
municipal accounting system entitled U.M.A.S. since 1981.
-89-
The significant departures from G.A.A.P. included in the
Town of Ipswich's financial statements are:
A. Retirement benefits are provided for on a "pay-as-you
go" basis rather than a acceptable actuarial cost
method (note 8) .
B. General fund fixed asset acquisitions are recorded as
expenditures at the time purchases are made rather
than being capitalized in a general fixed asset group
of accounts.
C. Purchases for materials and supplies inventories are
recorded as expenditures rather than assets at the
time of purchase.
3. Provision for Property Tax Abatements and Exemptions
Provision for property tax abatements and exemptions are
established for each annual tax levy as prescribed by
statue. The primary intent is to provide for these po-
tential refunds or allowances during the year in which the
tax would otherwise be due and collected. Excessive amounts
no longer necessary are transferred to fund balance reserved
for extraordinary or unforseen expenses as prescribed by the
Massachusetts General Laws.
4. Reserve for Extraordinary or Unforeseen Expenses
The balance in this account represents the transfer of
excess amounts from the"Provision for Abatement and
Exemption" accounts. This account was previously known or
classified as "Overlay Surplus" to be appropriated by the
town meeting vote for extraordinary or unforseen expenses in
accordance with Chapter 59, Section 25, Massachusetts
General Laws.
5. Reserve for Encumbrances
The balance in this account is made up of current and prior
years unexpended appropriations carried forward.
6. Unreserved Fund Balances - Designated
Certain budgetary surplus and deficits must, according to
the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, be
utilized to reduce or be raised in the next subsequent tax
rate. These items have been included within the unreserved
fund balance pursuant to G.A.A.P.
State and County over/underassessment, net, result from an
excess of amounts raised in the tax levy of the current year
as compared to the actual expenditures made for such purposes
These amounts will be utilized to reduce the 1990 tax levy.
Appropriation deficits resulted from expenditures of the
accounts listed that exceed their appropriation during the
fiscal year.

7 . Pension Plans
Substantially, all employees of the Town, except school
teachers and certain other school department employees
are members of the Essex County Retirement System. The
pension plan provides retirement benefits for members
who have attained a certain age and for periods of service.
Members contribute certain percentages of their salaries or
wages to the plan. In addition, the Massachusetts Division of
Insurance determined an amount, each year, that the Town
must contribute to the system in order to meet that year's
projected benefit payment.
This so called "pay-as-you-go" method does not provide for
the funding of any unfunded liabilities that might exist as
a result of an actuarial determination of the fiscal con-
dition of the plan. The amount of the unfunded liability
of the Essex County Retirement System is actuarialy deter-
mined periodically and reported to the Town of Massachusetts
Retirement Law Commission. The most recent actuarial valuation
was prepared as of January 01, 1979. At that date, the act-
uarialy computed value of unfunded pension benefits attrib-
utable to the Town of Ipswich amounted to $5,856,650.
Teachers and certain administrative employees of the School
Department participate in a contributory retirement plan
administered by the Massachusetts Teachers' Retirement Board.
The Town does not contribute to this plan.
8. Unemployment Compensation
The Town is on the reimbursable method for paying unem-
ployment compensation. Under the reimbursable method, the
Massachusetts Employment Security Division sends a list
quarterly to the community of who has received benefits.
The community then reimburses the Massachusetts Employment
Security Division for these clients against the Town.
9. Workmen's Compensation
The Town insures its workers with Utica National Insurance
Company, which computed its premium by estimating the Town's
payroll and utilizing the- rates per hundred established by
the State Division of Insurance.
10. Vacation and Sick Pav
Employees earn vacation and sick leave as they provide services
Vacation accumulation is limited to the current year. Sick
leave accumulates for various groups of employees based upon
the respective collection bargaining agreements. Sick leave
accumulates at the rate of one and one-quarter days per month.
Maximum sick leave accumulation is 150 days for firefighters,
165 days for policemen, and 165 days for all other town em-
ployees. The cost of vacation and sick leave benefits is
accounted for as an operation expenditure of the general fund,
when paid. Sick leave benefits are paid only when taken and,
therefore, not paid to employees upon termination.
